Don't leave your money to your children

Lenny Henry has said it is ‘right’ for rich parents to cut their children out of inheritance so they can learn to ‘stick up for themselves’.

The actor, 56, praised the string of celebrities, including Nigella Lawson, Sting and Simon Cowell, who have said they will not be leaving their vast wealth to their children.

It is the first hint from the father-of-one that he won’t be handing over his reported £5million fortune to his adopted daughter Billie, 23.
